Ask HN: What is an "outdated" tool or plugin that you refuse to switch from/why?
In the age of github stars being inflated and people jumping ship to ship between mainstream projects, I'm curious to hear other's opinions.

All the cool kids are on VScode or Cursor, but I still use and love my boring old Jetbrains IDEs every day. It makes me feel old every time I see someone else's screenshot and realize I am pretty much the only one in all the companies I've ever worked for who likes Jetbrains. Too bad! It's a great IDE.
None of the tools I use are actually outdated. If they were, I'd stop using them. However, I have no idea what would be considered "outdated" by the standards of most HN readers, so I can't actually answer this question.
I still depend heavily on textfx npp plugins for many mundane tasks, such as quickly sorting a few lines in a text file and I have not bothered to find a replacement so far, like in almost 2 decades hehehe

Super simple tool that I use for everything from project templating to code generation to LLM driven docs.
I like Sublime Text because it's fast, has multiple cursors. And it's pretty. It's redundant with Obsidian but it just feels good.
vim tbh, grep, awk, bash
